Please tell me what the name of this tune is!
Sorry for the intonation problems. It took me close to 60 takes to even get this version recorded (I hate microphones!), so I was kinda anxious to get done with it.
I learned this tune years ago, I forgot where. And Sunday I consulted the Ultimate Swami of all tunes F & Bb, and Chirps said he didn't know what it was.

I'll give it a listen, but I don't have great hopes...
I'm <not> an expert on tunes in F-
and I tend to avoid the key, in fact.
But I was poking around a lot in .abc archives, so, who knows?
Okay, the download completed- no, I don't know it-
BUT my guess is that it's Quebecois-
It has a lot of similarities to La Bastringue in contour and phrasing, except the first
part is minor instead of major, and the B part is very similar in contour. So if you could find an expert in Quebecois fiddling,
they might be able to help you.
Maybe ask Pascal Gemme???
